Best Bath Houses in Italy

"Via Alberto Cadlolo, 101 (Monte Mario) Daily 7am-10pm 06.35091romecavalieri.com. To get an idea of the type of spa we are talking about here – it was once voted Europe’s Best Hotel Spa. A self-proclaimed ‘Mediterranean oasis’ in the heart of Rome, but this title doesn’t capture the the grandeur of the Cavalieri Grand Spa Club."

"€€€€ | Massive Hotel & Property | Multiple Pools | Rooftop Dining* | Family Friendly. Rome Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria is easily the best pool option in Rome. The hotel has the look and feel like no other hotel in Rome."

"One of Rome’s most prestigious hotels, the Hassler celebrated its 125th birthday in 2018. Guests book here for the magical views of the city from the top of the Spanish Steps, for the sophisticated style of the suites and for the impeccable service, which is surprisingly warm for a five-star hotel. The facilities are first rate and include the Rossano Ferretti Hair Salon, the Amorvero Spa, the Michelin-starred Imàgi restaurant and the elegant Hassler bar – where, it is said, Princess Diana described their house bellini as the best ever."

"Hassler Roma, or Rome’s Stairway to Heaven, as the legendary hotel is popularly known, is located at the top of the Spanish Steps in the heart of Rome and has been serving its clientele for the past 125 years. The hotel overlooks one of the city’s most famous squares, Piazza di Spagna, and offers guests a central, five-star hub for all their adventures in and around Rome. A total of 87 luxe rooms is available with only the best amenities, along with a sauna, fitness centre, and a Michelin-starred restaurant."

"This luxury hotel breathes in the very air of history, located snug within one of the most historically charged buildings of the Via Vittorio Veneto. A two minutes walk will bring you to Villa Borghese Gardens, and a ten minutes walk will bring you to the other popular tourist stops — the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. The neighboring areas are all brimming with charming cafes, boutique stores, and even the very fashionable street of Via dei Condotti."

"The luxury 23-room Castello della Castelluccia was built on the ruins of a villa. Rooms are furnished with antiques, but also have modern conveniences such as air conditioning, minibar, television and Wi-Fi. The castle is surrounded by lush gardens; you can have a drink on the terrace overlooking the foliage."

"This hotel has been designed with a modern exterior, however the interiors have been decked up in neoclassical leanings. The hotel features all modern amenities, however it’s designed in such a manner so that the modern aesthetics don’t encroach upon the classical grandeur of the rooms and suites. The hotel is also lavished with antique sculptures and paintings so that you can experience a little slice of Rome within the hotel itself!"

"Via G. Frescobaldi, 3 (Pinciano) Mon-Sun 7am – 10pm 06.85442494princespa.com. Not far from the Villa Borghese and inside the sumptuous Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & Spa, is the Prince Spa. And you will feel like royalty after experiencing this award-winning wellness centre."

"Corso del Rinascimento, 89 (Centro Storico) Tuesday – Sunday 8am – 9.30pm. Insider tip: a little hidden gem close to Piazza Navona, this tiny pasticceria focuses on the sweet traditions of Rome. Much appreciated by locals, it is not very well known by tourists, which makes it the perfect place to visit."

"Towering over green fields, this 2nd-century villa is one of Rome's unsung splendours. It was the luxurious abode of two consuls, the Quintili brothers, but its splendour was in fact their downfall. The emperor Commodus had them both killed, taking over the villa for himself. The emperor added to the complex and the ruins are fabulously impressive. The highlight is the well-preserved baths complex with a pool, caldarium (hot bath) and frigidarium (cold bath). There's also a small museum with good exhibits."

"Dimora D'Este in Tivoli provides accommodation with free WiFi, 110 metres from Villa d'Este and 4 km from Hadrian's Villa. Important Information This property will not accommodate hen, stag or similar parties.Read more"

"Two sizes is another spot where you can try delicious tiramisu and much more. Hence its name, all the desserts here are served in two sizes, meaning you can choose among small and large. Every month they offer a ‘flavor of the month’ tiramisu, which ranges from classic to pistachio and caramel."

"This pasticceria -- located just a short walk from the Re di Roma metro stop -- is not only my favorite bakery in Rome, its also one of my very favorite places in the capital all together. The desserts are not typically Italian -- you'll find everything here from cookies to cheesecake -- but appreciated all the more by an American like myself. The pastry chef is Claudia Martelloni, who is purely self taught (no formal training!!!) which is downright remarkable when you see what she is capable of."
